Automated provisioning simplifies deployment and integration
The Oracle Database Appliance is customizable and has excellent features.I don't have any problems with Oracle Database Appliance because this product is very automated, with scheduler and automatic processes throughout. You can make small inferences and changes for creating all the specific modifications. The automated provisioning feature helps speed up the database deployment process because you can use one command or option to resize all the disks or increase memory, depending on the occasion. The Oracle Database Appliance has integration in OCI Cloud. The same services simplify all the manager work regarding backups, configuration, resizing disks, and other services. Deploying the Oracle Database Appliance both on-premises and in the cloud offers the same simplification. You simply input your database name and specify memory quantity, CPU quantity, and database size. The process is identical for both on-premises and cloud deployments. The flexibility of Oracle Database Appliance has helped grow business needs for many customers. Using the Oracle Database Appliance has positively impacted my organization because I can deliver it much more comfortably. Creating a database involves many processes, but with this solution, you just input the name and configure the network and other parameters. It is very similar to RDS in AWS services, where you specify the name, choose the engine, indicate parameter groups, VPC, subnet groups, and proceed. Both Oracle Database Appliance and RDS have greatly simplified the work.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

"Oracle is a stable database."
"Scalability, high availability, easy installation, and good performance are the reasons to switch."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks."
"The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance."
"NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives: This technology brings outstanding I/O performance for midsize databases. We have tested it by doing POCs on customer sites and the results were quite satisfying."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"The license cost could be cheaper, especially for long-term contracts."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"There is room for improvement in better integration with third-party tools, such as Power BI or Redshift."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Get benefit from the capacity-on-demand features. License your cores according to your licenses."
"Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing seven and a half or eight out of ten."
"Compared to Oracle Exadata, Oracle Database Appliance is affordable."
"The solution may be expensive, but when we consider the problems it solves, the stability it provides, and the fact that we don't have to buy separate parts and assemble them into a system, it becomes more affordable."
"In regards to licensing, it is cheaper to maintain for Oracle applications, and it's an all-in-one solution."
"You must pay for the license."
"Oracle Database Application's support and maintenance are included in the contract."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
